Bagdad Comes To Town

Sheridan Cornett held her annual Christmas Cocktail Party last Sunday but in a new location. Instead of having it at her beautifully decorated and spacious home in Bagdad, Ky., she changed venues to the Louisville Country Club. It seems that some of the guests are getting older and sometimes it snows, and getting to Bagdad and back is not for the faint of heart!

It was a wonderful party with loads of friends and her charming and talented children and grandchildren; Christopher and Denver, his wife Jane and their two, Savannah and Ben.

Drinks were flowing, the food was special, the band was playing and the guests were in heaven.

It was wonderful to see all ages mingling, happy to see some of my favorite friends – Jean and Sandra Frazier, Anne Dishman, Dr. Tom Courtney, Pat Sympson, Evelyn and David Sympson, Anne Sweets and Dr. Joe Seay, and a ballroom full of fun people. It included Herman Kessler and his daughter Caroline without Amy, their wife and mother respectively, who helped to host the holiday cocktail supper for the Louisville Theatrical Association’s board of trustees and their spouses.

At that party the Silver Spoon served a festive and delicious buffet. After much chatter and socializing the highlight of the party was presented. Board member Carlisle Baker bakes for relaxation. That’s right. Baker bakes. He is a talented artist and you should see what he can do with a sheet cake! He brought three huge sheet cakes and on each cake were the logos of two of the PNC Broadway in Louisville current season shows! They truly were works of art. His talent is incredible and he deserves a bakery of his own. People go wild over his artistry and on top of that, the cakes taste divine!
